On behalf of the Pantera International "family" I would like to wish each of you our
heartfelt wishes for a warm and cheerful holiday, filled with the love of family and
friends; and a prosperous New Year.
There's a lot of change occurring behind the scenes at the club. Adam and Justin are
no longer involved in the operation of the club, although they remain on the corporate
board of directors for the time being. My sister Gail is slated to take over Justin's
position as our office manager, but urgent family business is preventing her from doing
so at the moment. In the interim Adam & Justin's older brother, Jonathan, has stepped
up to the plate to take over the office operations as a temporary measure.

Jonathan is the new Vice President of Pantera International. Like me, Jonathan has
another job, he will be in and out of the office unpredictably during the day, but
until Gail is free to work for the club Jonathan will be the guy returning your phone
calls, taking care of memberships and shipping your merchandise. Since Jonathan cannot
be by the phone full time, my daughter April will answer the phones when my grand
daughter Emily will allow her. (Yes, April is back in Fillmore!) That's Jonathan
and April with me in the picture above.

Looking forward to 2009, both the club and I shall relocate 20 miles west to the city
of Ventura. And the best news of all, the long over due issue of Pantera International
Magazine shall arrive in member's mail boxes.
